ELECTRICAL VIBRATING DEVICE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 10, 1911.

Application filed September 7, 1910. Serial No. 580,799.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY N. CUPP, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Mars, in the county of Butler and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inElectrical Vibrating Devices, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an electrical vibrating device and has for itsobject. to provide means in a manner as hereinafter set forth forvibrating or oscillating hammers for use in riveting sieves and for anyother purpose for which the device is found applicable.

- of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variationsand modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of theclaims hereunto appended.

In describing the invention in detail, reference is had to theaccompanying drawing wherein like reference characters denotecorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a plan view of an electrical vibrating device in accordance with thisinvention, and Figs. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 .are details of the circuitclosing elements.

Referring to the drawing, 25 and 26 denote a pair of solenoids arrangedin longitudinal alinement and 27 denotes a core com- .mon to bothsolenoids and which is provided with a member 28 for actuating oroscillating an article or for agitating or oscillatinga means foroperating the article.

The reference character 29 denotes a con.- ductor leading from a sourceof electrical energy and which is connected by a branch conductor 30 toa contact post 31. Arranged opposite the contact post 31 isa contactpost 32 and leading from said post 32 is a condoctor 33 which isconnected to the solenoid 26 and leading from the conductor 33 is abranch conductor 34 which is connected to the solenoid 25. Leading fromthe solenoid 26 to a contact post 35 is a branch conductor 36 andleading from the solenoid 25 to a contact post 37'is a. branch conductor38. The contact posts 32, 35 and 37 are carried by a support 39 andarranged opposite to said support 39 and carrying the post 31 is asupport 40. Secured to the support 40 and extending in a plane to oneside of the plane in which the post 35 extends is a contact post 41 andsecured to the support. 40 and extending in a plane to one side of theplane in which the post 37 extends is a contact post 42. y

The reference character 43 denotes a c0nductor leading to the source ofelectrical energy and which is connected by a branch conductor 44 t0 thepost 41, and leading from the branch conductor 44 tothe post 42 is aconductor 45.

The reference character 46 denotes a rotatable element which is providedwith a disk 47 of conducting material and which is normally in contactwith the posts 31 and 32 whereby the said posts are electricallyconnected together. Arranged upon the rotatable member 46 is a disk 48of conducting material which is permanent-1y in contact with the post 35and separated from the disk 47 by a disk 49 of insulation. Arranged uponthe member 46 and abutting against the disk 48 is a disk 50 formed ofinsulation and provided with a series of contact members 51 which aredisposed at right angles with respect to each other and projecting fromthe periphery of the disk 50 and adapted to intermittently contact withthe post 41. The contact members 51 are in permanent engagement with thedisk 48. Arranged upon the member 46 and abutting against the disk 50and permanently in convtact with the post 37 is a disk 52 of conductingmaterial and carried by the member 46 and abuttingagainst thedisk 52 isa. disk'53 of insulation and which is provided with a series of contactmembers 54 which are alternately disposed with respect to the contactmembers 51 when the disk 53 is mounted upon the member 46. The members54 project from the periphery of-the disk 53 and are adapted tointermittently engage the post 42. The member 46 is rotated in anysuitable manner and the various disks carried thereby are fixed onsaidmember and are held in abutting engagement with each other. The contactmembers 54 are in permanent engagement with the contact disk 52.

The circuit for the solenoid 25 is as follows :conductors 29 and 30,post 31, disk 47, post 32, conductor. 33, conductor 34, conductor 38,post 37, disk 52', one of the contacts 54, post 42, conductors 45 and 44and conductor 43 to source of electrical energy. The circuit for thesolenoid 26 is as follows :-eonductors 29 and 30, post 31, disk 47, post32, conductor 33, conductor 36, post 35, disk 48, one of the contacts51,-post 41, conductor 44 and conductor 43 to source of electricalenergy.

The contacts 51 and 54 are so disposed with respect to each other thatthe solenoids 25 and 26 will be alternately energized, whereby the core27 will be reciprocated and the member 28 utilized for the purpose ofoscillating an article.

52 and 54 are what may be termed a circuit making and breaking devicefor alternately energizing and deenergizing the sole.- noids 25 and 26,the said operation of the solenoids reciprocating the cores as isobvious.

What I claim is 1. An electrical vibrating device comprising a pair ofsolenoids, a reciprocating core common to both of said solenoids, meanscarried by the core for, imparting power to an element, a rotatableelement, a pair of supports, a series of contact posts carried by eachof the supports, circuit wire connections between one of said series ofposts and said solenoids, circuit wire connections between the other ofsaid series of-posts and the source of electrical energy, conductingdisksfixed to said rotatable element and engaging that series which areconnected with the solenoid, disks of insulation abutting against saidconducting disks and fixed to said rotatable element, and a series ofcontacts carried by certain of the disks of'insulation and adapted tosuccessively engage certain of the posts of that series of posts whichare connected Withthe source of electrical energy, the remaining post ofthat series of posts which are connected with the electrical supplyengaged by one of said conducting disks.

2. An electrical vibrating device comprising a pair of solenoids, areciprocating core common to both of said solenoids, means carried bythe'core for imparting power to an element, a rotatable element, aseries of thereagainst, contact posts permanently in engagement with thedisks of conducting material, circuit wire connections between saidposts and said solenoids, a contact post permanently inengagement withone of said disks of conducting material, circuit wire connectionsbetween said last mentioned post and a'source of electrical energy, aseries of spaced contacts carried by two of said disks of insulation andabutting against two of said conducting disks, the contacts of oneseries on one disk being alternately disposed with respect to thecontacts of the series on the other disk, a pair of contact posts, oneadapted to be successively engaged by the contacts of one series and theother by the contacts of the other series, and circuit wire connectionsbetween the said pair of contacts and the source of electrical energy.

3. An electrical vibrating device comprising a pair of solenoids, areciprocating core common to both of said solenoids, means, carried bythe core for nnpartmg power to an element, a rotatable element, a pairof supports, a series of contact posts carried by each of the supports,circuit wire connections between one of said series of posts and saidsolenoids, circuit wire connections between the other of said series ofposts and the source of electrical energy, conducting disks fixed tosaid rotatable element and engaging that series which are connected withthe solenoid, disks of insulation abutting against said conducting disksand fixed to said rotatable element, and a series of contacts carried bycertain of the disks of insulation and adapted to successively engagecertain of the posts of that series of posts which are connected withthe source-of electrical energy, the remaining post of that series ofposts which are connected with the electrical supply engaged by one ofsaid conducting disks, the series of contacts carried by one disk ofinsulation being alternately disposed with respect to the series ofcontacts carried by the other disk of insulation.
